MEYDAN GOLF DRIVES GRASS ROOTS OF SPORT IN THE UAE
The Track golf course in Dubai has taken the groundbreaking step of allowing young golfers to play and eat free of charge as they continue to drive grassroots development of the sport in the UAE.The initiative called Family Golf was developed by Troon who manage The Track at Meydan and is aimed at encouraging more and more young people and families to take up the sport.
The scheme allows every child aged 15 and under to play the nine hole course, recently voted one of the best in the world, for free when accompanied by a paying adult. The same offer extends to The Track's Academy where young players can get a free lesson from a Meydan Golf professional when accompanied by a paying adult. Entry on both counts is strictly one child per adult and is available after 3pm.
Other Troon venues in the UAE will also run the scheme for the foreseeable future, including The Els Club in Dubai and Abu Dhabi Golf Club and Saadiyat Beach Golf Club in Abu Dhabi.
The original idea has been improved upon by the management at The Track to include a free meal for under 8s selected from a set menu after they work up an appetite on the range or the course.
The initiative goes hand in glove with The Track's aim of making golf as accessible to as many people as possible as Marketing Manager, James Leeman, explains:
"Our whole ethos at The Track is to bring the sport of golf to as many people in the UAE as possible and schemes like Troon Family Golf reassert our commitment to making that possible," he said.
"Top quality golf at affordable prices is a strategy that underpins everything we do, from our innovative pricing structure to our popular events such as the recent US Masters and US Open competitions. We know there is a huge appetite for schemes like this that help stretch people's leisure budgets that little bit further.
"This is an ongoing scheme that will run and run and we look forward to welcoming parents and children to our world class facilities," he added.
